Yep, buying those for the new build.

I also think I have decided on going ported OEM ported exhaust manifold again and a recirc downpipe probably to quiet it up again. If I am not going for stupid high power no sense in having all that lol.

I think I will probably go EF2.5 as well, rev to 8k on street (9k at track if needed) and shoot for 500whp. Then do a wally 255 with modded relief in the tank and go BAP if needed.

SO I will need a BUNCH of stuff to get the car to this but I am in no rush. I think the car will drive a whole lot easier, idle/drive better and be stock like spool. Should be interesting coming back down 250whp. Hopefully I don't get bored, if I do I sell it :)

Sounds like a solid plan. If you stir in turning the wheel along with 'only' 500 WHP, it's going to take a long time to get bored of the setup.

Totally give circuit racing a try when you're able. I think you will be very very pleased.

I plan to for sure, I'd like to do more road course stuff, the X is made for that. But that is also expensive.

Future I am going to look at getting a 17" slick setup on my car. I just don't want to have to go through 1200+ dollar tires and brakes all the time doing road courses. But I for sure will do some HPDE stuff at some point.

Also want to focus on the "small" stuff I have neglected. Rotors, driveshaft and taking weight out.

I just love the "Ron Method of Attack" with his 9 RS. That thing can do it all, perfect evo there. I just wish the X weighed less. I have to learn to drive for that method though too :)

Are you sticking to E85 or switching back to 93?

Corn. Safer on my compression.

You will appreciate both of these things. I experimented with a tubular last year but the ported cast just takes so much worry out of the equation (plus I picked up 10wtq while only losing 3whp while on the EF2).
